cota kid Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Home Office Advice"You should be on your guard and exercise great caution as violent crime is common throughout Guatemala" "Tourists are targeted by criminals, especially those arriving at the airport" "Armed robbery is becoming more usual in Antigua, Guatemala, and even the main areas of town during daylight hours have seen attacks. You should be on your guard at all times. " "Violent crime is a major problem throughout Guatemala. Serious attacks on tourists, including murder and rape, have taken place. Armed robbery of tourists and muggings can happen anywhere in the country. " "There have been attacks on cars and buses (including tourist buses) during daylight hours on well-used, main roads. These attacks have included the rape of female passengers." "There are 5 to 6 murders a day in Guatemala City and surrounding areas. The majority involve the use of guns." Personally, I'm glad I'm heading to my folks for the weekend. Not much chance of getting shot/mugged in rural Aberdeenshire. some people have all the fun. It sound like quite some night out. I hope Shauns behaving himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physco Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 i would have gone with cota kid as minder! certainly one not to mess with. i would have also taken denzil for the entertainment, if any body attacked densil he would bore them to death with tales about riding the future montesa 4RT. both of these guys are what trials abroad are about, good fun, i certainly enjoyed the crack with them in spain.

beta200 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Heard today that Michael Brown still has not got his bike and would be riding a borrowed bike, just to make life even harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishy Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 http://www.trialonline.org/ Probably an hour or two before the final scores go up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Alexz's win is truly outstanding, what an achievement. Well done to him, Stu and Team Wiggy. I bet Dabster wishes he was in Guatemala, getting his bi focals polished. Given the problems Browny's been having its also good to see him also on the podium.

ishy Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Looks like a very good spectator attendance, and the sections took points off em all. Not bad for a first world round. http://www.phototrial.it/2007/2007wc/guate2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
